communion dress
White ceremonial frock
A communion dress is a white formal dress worn by a girl for her First Communion, a Christian sacrament typically received around age seven or eight in Catholic and some other traditions.
The dresses are traditionally white to symbolize purity, often elaborate with lace, embroidery, or veils: She wore her mother's communion dress, carefully preserved for thirty years.
